Ailevator

[Corresponding model type]: Airplane/glider, V-Tail

(Effective only when 2 servos used at the elevators)

This function improves the operating performance of

the roll axis by operating the elevators as ailerons.

Ailevator is where each elevator in a standard

(conventional) or v-tail moves independently, like

ailerons on a wing. In addition to each elevator side

moving up and down together, each side moves in

opposite directions when moving as an Ailevator. On

a V-tail, this is also known as a Ruddervator, as they

can serve the same purpose. Typically, both Ailevator

and ailerons are coupled together to maximize roll

performance, especially on larger wingspan planes..

Note: Select Ailevator as the Model Type at the Model

Type screen. This changes the output channel. Check

the Function menu.

● Touch the [AIL] button in the Model Menu to

call the setup screen shown below.

(Aileron function)
● When the elevators are used as ailerons, aileron travel

of the left and right elevators can be adjusted.
